I think tonight's highlight was hearing the Canadians boo Gary Bettman!

This was my first Mulligan album. I found it for $1.99 when the record companies were getting rid of all their mono records in favor of compatible stereo. I haven't heard it in a few years, but it's a good one! It is, indeed! Ted, I was still quite new to jazz in 1969, and I bought as many of those mono $1.99's as I could find. It was all I could afford. Now I realize how lucky I was. I got some great ones to start my jazz life!

Thanks HBJ and Ron!

I'm not a musician, but some of Wayne Shorter's melodies with Miles seem pretty short.

Here's an interesting AP article about the science of broken bats. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/baseball/forest-service-cracks-mystery-behind-broken-bats/article2059128/ Jim, I don't believe that's true anymore. A few years ago the league offices were combined into the commissioner's office. I think, but I'm not sure, it was about the time the Brewers moved from the American League to the National League. Also, the difference in the leagues' umpiring was eliminated.

I would like to hear that story.

I hope you mean Whitey Herzog!

Lenny Walls has agree to a restructured contract with the Eskimos. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=368589

I saw Cornell Gunther in Washington in 1972 I think. Maybe it was 1975. Since then I thought that he was the lead singer.

Jim, if memory is relevant, then I suspect that is the culprit, because I have very little of it. Tom, the price is going up because my first year is ending. The original deal was $10 per month off for the first 12 months. But looking around, I don't see anything in this area that matches that speed, so I guess I will have to swallow the extra ten dollars. I am happy with the Time Warner service - It's only the price I am thinking of.

I believe that my internet service will increase $10 a month next month. I use Time Warner Roadrunner. My current download speed is 17,106 kbps. My upload speed is 956 kbps. So I am shopping. The others rate their speeds as Mbps. So what is 17,106 kbps in Mbps terms? 17.1? I have trouble downloading videos like YouTube in real time. I need to start play, then pause, let the data accumulate, and then play and watch the video. What speed would I need to watch YouTube without doing that?

Well, I note that the link shows a region-free Toshiba Blu-Ray player on sale for $149. That's pretty good for a Blu-Ray player, isn't it? http://www.regioncodefreedvd.com/Region_Free_Blu_ray_dvd_players.html

Unk, I visited the Bay Area in August of 1973, and took in an A's game! What I remember most about the game was how uncomfortably cool it was for a baseball game, and this was in August! I'm surprised they get a lot of people to show up in that climate, but I guess the natives are used to it.

Jim's post got me thinking. During my childhood, I thought that my favorite team was the Minnesota Twins with Harmon Killebrew, Camilo Pascual, et al. But looking back, I think that I actually was more of a Boston Patriots fan because I liked the AFL regardless of who was announcing the games, while I didn't like baseball after they took Dizzy Dean off. So...who was the one team of your childhood, and do you still root for them today? By the way, in the case of the Twins, I lost all interest in them when the players of the early 60s retired. In the case of the Patriots, my love decreased some when they changed their name to New England, and decreased a lot more when they changed their uniforms to blue with Elvis on the helmet.

ejp, is the typical computer DVD player regionalized or region-free? PS - Look what I found! http://www.regionfreedvd.net/

I'll make an ignorant guess - Irene Kral?

MSE is active. Malwarebytes is passive i.e. you have to manually scan your system for it to be effective. Simply having Malwarebytes will not protect you from anything. You have to open it, update it & make do a "Full scan" to get the full protection it offers. Kevin, although Malwarebytes' free program is passive, I believe that that paid program which I have is active. But maybe you understand it better than I do.

She looks to me like one of the twin backup singers with The Shangri-Las.

Kevin, I already have and use Malwarebytes, and it doesn't get any adware that I can tell. PS - Do you want me to use Security Essential s and Malwarebytes simultaneously?

Definitely run Malwarebytes. I bought Malwarebytes recently, but I don't understand it. I have it running on my machine, and it frequently says that it is blocking sites which attempt to access my computer. It is the only anti-virus program I have on my computer. Am I supposed to be running another anti-virus program in addition to it?
