Kill Bill 1 & 2 double feature in town on the BIG screen
I've never seen those on the BIG screen
Me and my son saw both of them on the big screen, we had to hunt down 2 at some theater in Times Square that has 25 screens. Lots of fun for both of us, and the scene where Uma Thurman takes on about 100 people in the club is just crazy on a big screen, with the body parts flying around and the blood gushing all over.

i was 17 and a big fan of Mahavishnu. Went to see Ali Akbar Khan at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and I see John McLaughlin! I stammered something barely intelligible and McLaughlin was quite gracious.
Oh, I once took a leak next to Hank Crawford. Didn't look, didn't pee on hom(or me).

If you ever get the chance it's worth a trip to see Armstrong's house. Besides the history within, his wife was ahead of her time in home design and the house has some really cool features.

Eric Chavez signs with the D'Backs, A-Rod might miss the entire season, it looks like the Yanks are headed to Abbott & Costello-ville!
Third Base- I don't know!!!

pro football weekly reports that broadcaster jon gruden is in in serious negotiations with the raiders about a possible return as head coach.

That would be great! No more endless streams of useless verbiage on Monday Night Football. He's got a motormouth.

Looks like their only competition will be the Nats. I know you're a Philly fan, do you think that their time has passed or can they squeeze some good years from Lee & Halliday and have enough offense? Is B.J Upton the Upton brother who plays hard or the one with the so-so effort reputation?

On Saturday I went to see Henry Threadgill at Roulette in Brooklyn, which seems to be his go-to venue in NYC with the demise of the Jazz Gallery. I have no idea if they played new music, but it was beautifully played and had passages of ferocious intensity. He had a larger band this time around, two trumpets, two trombones, acoustic guitar, cello, tuba, drums and even an acoustic bass! Threadgill played his usual flutes and alto. At times everyone dropped out but the guitar,cello and bass and we had a forward-looking string trio. Pretty well attended from what I could see, and I saw Bruce from Downtown Music Gallery sitting in front of me. A great night of music for $25.

I was rooting for the Browns myself(I'm a Giant fan), but I can only imagine how ticked a Browns fan must be.

Okay, maybe I'm crazy, but look at Cincy's schedule and tell me they can't make a wild card slot.
At 5-5 they're still alive, win a few games and they'll really thrive, lose a few and it's a dive.
-
I get signing him, because he's a pretty good player even when unjuiced, but the price they paid is VERRRRRY high. A guy with his baggage could probably be had for a lot less $$.
-
Amazon US has it at $52.91, Amazon DE at EUR23.00 as Hans noted above. EUR23.00 is about USD$29.00 That's a huge difference.
-
He never recorded with them , but IIRC he went on tour with the Fania All-Stars as part of the band.
-
Interesting to note that four starting QBs were injured and couldn't complete the games, and three of them were on concussions. I think that besides the 15 yarder for a helmet to helmet hit(not an inadvertant one), the hitter should be ejected from the game.

The book is very good, but I fear that the movie may be 90% of the tawdry parts of Albany's life and 10% of the loving relationship he had with his daughter.

I take it you don't care for Hamilton, or is it that you think it's a bad move by the Phillies? I'm just curious as to why.Weird rumors flying around the internet that the Phillies are close to signing Josh Hamilton. I might just have to boycott the 2013 season if they do.
Why would I think signing Hamilton would be a bad move?? Forget for a minute that he will be 32 in May and that his numbers are trending downward. Forget that there are legitimate concerns about his ability to stay on the field and that he has past issues with substance abuse. Forget that Hamilton bats lefty and the Philllies already have two left handed hitters at 3 & 4 in their lineup(Utley & Howard). Forget that Hamilton will get a huge contract and that the Phillies have a ton of money($130 M for 2013) committed to about 8 players(Doc, Hamels, Utley, Howard, Rollins, Lee, Chooch, and Paps) with more pressing needs(3rd base, BP) to fill. Forget all that.
The real reason I don't want him on the Phillies?? He's is a streaky hitter.
Look the last thing the Phillies need is Josh Hamilton. A team bulging with players in their 30's that can no longer perform at the level of their bloated contracts wants to take on another bloated contract for a bible thumping player in his 30's with all kinds of on/off field issues?? In this town with its crazy fans??? What could possibly go wrong??
Well, you certainly answered my question! I didn't really know much of their contract situation outside of Lee & Halliday & Hamels & Howard getting massive $$. It certainly does look like a bad move for Philly.
Maybe they're trying to free up cash to sign Alex Rodriguez.
Ha! He and Loria deserve each other. You gotta love Idiot Bud Selig -- Mark Cuban owning a team is bad for baseball, but people like McCourt & Loria are okay. That makes so much sense Bud.
Mark Cuban, who actually gives a hoot about his team and tries(and spends the $$) to put out a product that the fans want to see is soooo bad for baseball. Think what he could do with the Cubs.

I can't see Sloan and Kobe coexisting for any appreciable length of time- that's oil & water.

It felt like it took me four days to get to work today! I live in Brooklyn but work in Jersey City, but the company I'm working at now has offices in Manhattan, so they let me work there today and tomorrow. With no subways, I took an express bus to Manhattan, and the traffic was horrible, it took me over two hours for a commute that should be about 50 minutes. The way home was a blast as well- I walked to the first stop of the express bus(about 12 blocks), figuring they'd get crowded, and I was right. I left the office at 5:00 and walked into my house at 7:45.
Power was restored to my whole block this morning. I'm on one end of the block, and I had power except for about 4-5 hours when ConEd cut it off to do repairs. About 3/4 of my block was without power, and last night I looked down the block and there were no cars coming, and it was total darkness, unusual in a city.
I hope the folks in NJ and Long Island get plenty of help, as they got slammed bad by Sandy. A friend of my wife's lives in Long Beach, LI, and she didn't evacuate. She now has no power and contaminated water and my wife can't reach her. The town had a beautiful boardwalk that is now underwater.

I would think some of the free agents this year will be sorely disappointed. The Yanks will not be major players in any way except for one year deals. GM Brian Cashman is under orders to reduce the payroll to get below $189Mil for 2014 when large luxury tax penalties kick in. The infield alone is around $80Mil!
-
It's early. They might figure it out, but they probably need a more effective coach. (Somebody not afraid to make Howard practice free throws for hours on end
)Howard has been Shaqiriffic in his free throw futility. The Lakers may have to avoid letting Howard touch the ball at the end of games or we may hack-a-shaq part two.

This just in: Dodgers failed to renew contracts on Juan Rivera, Todd Coffey and Matt Treanor [no surprise here].
Balfour is staying with the A's.
Are you sure you want Wilson back, especially if he can be traded for prospects (and/or more)?
Romo looked really good and is a lot younger. And he has the same beard!
Not saying I'd trade Wilson right away, but if Romo holds up, he (Wilson) could yield a nice return, I'd think.
OTOH, with Romo as the set-up man to Wilson, the Giants will be deadly in the late innings.
IF Wilson comes back the same as he was.

In the limited role the Yanks used him for Chavez actually played pretty well. His body is rather brittle, so he can't play everyday or he'll break down, but as an occasional 3b/1b/Dh he was just what the Yanks needed/need. Right now it's third base, I don't know!!!
