Falu:

Welcome, Chris!

Acupuncture may help- it did wonders for me I quitting. I also found this tea helpful: http://www.google.com/search?q=smoker's+tea&client=safari&hl=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=0Xf4UeaHM8Wu4AOBpIDABQ&ved=0CFAQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=829#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=qLfqxCZ6uKPdqM%3A%3BBAhh3eVq9OF1XM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fi.colnect.net%252Fimages%252Ff%252F1006%252F173%252FSmoker--s-Tea-Lobelia-Plus.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fcolnect.com%252Fen%252Fteabags%252Fteabag%252F20450-Smokers_Tea_Lobelia_Plus-Traditional_Herbals-United_States%3B258%3B300

He's already done so much for so long.

Mix some parsnips, carrots and any other root veggies you have, toss with olive oil and salt and pepper, roast in a pan in a 400+ oven, good stuff!

Milwaukee is spelled wrong!

Loved the ovation he got last night, well deserved and a cool move with the defensive team not taking the field so he was there by himself.

Here's Youtube of them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXSG-Jf-7WA

He's a good hitter from the A's, I think he's in his second year. A lot of A's players get little or no recognition.

My best wishes to him.

Huge gamble by the Nets, if no title next year or the year after, they could be a huge mess.Ballsy owner. Apparently, Andrei Kirilenko thinks they have the best chance to win. He signed a 2-year deal that will pay him about $6.8 million less if he only plays only one season for them, or $3.64 million less if he doesn't opt of the second season. He opted out of $10 million for what would have been his final season with the Wolves. P.S. The Nets were already looking @ a $70 million luxury tax next year before signing him. If he can stay healthy for the right parts of the season he's a nice addition. But along with how he perceives the team's chances perhaps the Russian ownership played a role. Hey, if people bring up Jay-Z's tiny percentage as a draw all the time I can mention the majority owner's background as being one as well. And Brooklyn is home to a LOT of Russian folks!

Haven't heard a note, but I just ordered it, Mike's posts are usually on the money about music.

You're about 3 hours out of NYC, right? IMHO, that's a long trip, but if YOU don't think so, that's what counts...

Mel Brooks has also written music for some of his films.

Isn't that mostly Bargnani for Novak, one good-shooting guy who does little else for another?

Congrats!

Nice football score!

I went to see Savion Glover this afternoon. I post this in the music section because the musicality of the tappers was just amazing! The show is entitled STEPZ, and it's Glover, another guy and three women all tapping away. They tapped to some Coltrane, Stevie Wonder and a few other things. The program noted that the performance times vary greatly because the show is largely improvised. Glover and the other guy did a bit with the 'Mission Impossible' theme that I would have thought impossible if I didn't see it. An absolutely wonderful afternoon of tap. I went with my wife, her sister, and my sister-in-law's 11 year old daughter, who likes dance. We waited around after the performance and Glover and the other dancers were quite gracious and signed autographs and posed for pictures. The 11 year old was a bit shy, so I grabbed her arm and brought her over to one of the female dancers(Ayodele Casel)and told Ms. Casel that the girl was shy. Ms. Casel gave her a big hug! It made the girl's day and was a wonderful moment.

4 field goals + a touchdown

Happy Birthday!!!

A lot of young talent that went pretty far last year, lookin' to do better this year. I'd say they're for real. Swept the Yanks recently, but lately that's not saying a lot.

That set was one of the best bargains I ever got. I was hot to get it when first released, and I saw it somewhere for $129.99. I thought it was a little high, so I looked around and found it for $99.99 at J&R. I worked downtown then , so I was planning to buy it in a couple days. I was around Union square one evening and I happened into Discomat and their tiny jazz section, and lo and behold, $69.99! Got it on the spot!

Thank you for the good wishes everyone, it's greatly appreciated. great bunch of folks here!
