Definitely agree. I'm actually glad that the Eagles didn't do this trade even though they need WR help badly. Williams' numbers for the past 2 years have gone way done and his complaining has gone way up. Looks like the Lions are -finally- doing something right. Let's see Millen? Gone. Kitna? Gone. Williams? Gone. Plus they get a 1st, 3rd, and 6th in 2009. Good moves If the Cowboys have a bad year those are some very good picks! And no Matt Millen to botch them.

I think the Bosox win tonight.

I watched a rerun Friday night and it had some FUNNY bits, like the gangster rapper doing a PSA for 'No Child Left Behind' and then performing it for some young kids!!!

Humble Pie around 1972, with Peter Frampton in the group. Stacks of Marshall amps in what was once a movie theater(Capitol theater in Passaic, NJ) and I could feel my internal organs vibrating and seeming to shift around from the volume- only time I got an upset stomach from a concert. Opening act was J. Geils Band and they blew away Humble Pie(two encores for J. Geils!!), so once humble Pie came on with the painful volume the place started to empty.

You would have thought fans would have hung in until the bitter end. Glad I saw it. However, I do fess up to missing the 88 Kirk Gibson HR against the As. I woke up right after I hit it. I was off and thus able to stay up to see the end of the game, but for a lot of people with jobs they just can't stay up that late and be halfway alert at work the next day. I only see the ends of games on the weekend or if I have the next day off. These post-midnight endings are rough for people on the East Coast.

With Romo hurt, Williams probably won't be much of a factor until mid-November. Toss in a suspension for Pacman, TO likely to start whining and moaning about getting the ball, and the Cowboys could be facing some serious trouble. I'm a Giants fan, so it's not like I'm feeling too great after last night's no-show. With a great chance to get a good lead in the division, the Giants laid an egg.

How could that be?!?!? He's the best poker player in the world! No one else can touch him! Just ask him; he'll tell you.... I love to see Hellmuth lose!

Hello Alec, The box arrived today. I haven't opened it yet but I'm sure it's OK. Many many thanks!!

I've seen her live in two different settings- one with a string quartet with Hank Roberts, Bill Frisell & Jason Hwang(sp), and with Todd Sickafoose's group- she was excellent in both.

I recently got 'Leaf Palm Hand', a duet with Tony Oxley. Listened to it today for the first time and it's excellent!! very much like the performance I caught earlier this year at the Village Vanguard. Highly recommended.

How about a duo of Wynton Marsalis on electric trumpet with wah-wah pedal and Marcus Roberts on electric piano and synthesizers?!

Here's a freebie with some serious talent playing: http://www.worldfinancialcenter.com/ae/default_new.asp?id=27

Also appearing are John Zorn, Bill Laswell, karl berger, etc. http://www.symphonyspace.org/event/2696

I was just looking on Ebay and someone has the Ayler box at $55.69 and free shipping! I have no connection to the seller: http://cgi.ebay.com/ALBERT-AYLER-HOLY-GHOS...id=p3286.c0.m14

Hello Alec, I'll take one at that price. Thank you very much.

Who cares about the music? Tell us about the FOOD!! Well, OK, they had various and sundry large pots of chili, vegetarian, Brooklyn(don't know what makes it specifically Brooklyn- dese, dem and dose?), etc. I am a native Brooklynite who never lived anywhere esle, so I got a cup of Brooklyn chili and it was verrrry good, spicy but not overwhelming. I also bought two spice rubs from the 'Elephants Hate Chili' folks, a bag of chili peppers, a spice rub from some Guyanese folks(I tried their hot sauce and it was incendiary!!!) and a jar of chutney. I made some chicken cutlets with the 'EHC' rubs and they were excellent. I'm glad I bought them because the jars of spice rub were $5.00 each, but on their website it's $5.99 with $6.00 shipping(They're in Africa)! I also made some chili with some ground beef, small pieces of flank steak, kidney and cannelinni(sp) beans and used some of the chili peppers I bought. I also made vegtarian chili for my wife and used more of the chili peppers. On Sunday I made curried chicken and cauliflower and used more chili peppers. I'm thinking about how to use more chili peppers for tomorrow's dinner. Sorry to derail the thread, back to live shows...

Probably tacky to reply to myself, but yes he can & did. Go Brewers!! Congrats to the Brew Crew- the difference today between them and the Mets is that the Brewers got the big hit late to win.

I went to the annual Chile Pepper Fiesta yesterday at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. Of course, loads of chile peppers, hot sauce, spicy food, etc. They also had a tent with a stage and music. I caught a full set of a singer named Falu, who dubs herself the 'Hindi Indie' and her music combines rock + Indian music. She's got a great voice and she's quite a good singer, too. I enjoyed the set so much I bought her cd. While not quite as good as she is live, the cd has some very good moments. here's a link to her website: http://www.falumusic.com/ Here's two youtube clips:

Which Oliver Perez shows up for the Mets today, the one that can pitch 8 innings with two hits and 9Ks, or the one that pitches 4 innings with 6 walks? Massive clutch performance by Santana yesterday, complete game shutout knowing his bullpen is bull----. I feel sorry for the Mets fans, I am just an old softie. I have been there too many times. Perhaps their GM will learn next year a (good)bullpen is important! Braves thought for years it wasn't that big a deal, and kept getting bit in the ass by it...Smoltz would have won 20 Games in 2007 with a good one. and Santana was 16-7 for the year, 2.53 ERA, best in the league. Why so little Cy Young talk for him??? His bullpen blew 7 games for him. Better not be Webb this year. Lincecum, Sabathia, or Santana, should be the choices, IMHO.... While I can see the argument for Lidge, what Lincecum did for a crappy team really impresses me. Santana got robbed by his bullpen- if not for them he would have at least 20 wins and I believe he led the league in ERA.

Is Robin Roberts still with the team? No, I believe she's anchoring the WGN-TV news. Ah, the old sex change trick. When I first got cable I tuned into ESPN and they announced that Robin Roberts was up next, so I thought the ex-pitcher had a gig there. Instead it was the female Robin Roberts! She did a great job.

3 times in '99, '98 & '96 each time losing in the first round to the eventual champion Yankees. Their moment of glory was winning game 1 in '96 vs. the Yanks 6-2. It was a close series as game 2 went 12 innings. Game 3 took a 2 run on-the-road 9th for the Yanks to win. In the clinching game 4 the Yanks came back from a 4 run deficit. In 1999 the Yankees swept the Rangers in 3 games and allowed 1 run for the series!

I've latley been interested again in Jim Campilongo, so I go on Ebay and go to a Buy it Now listing and purchase 'Heaven is Creepy. A week later I get an email from the seller that they don't have it and they're offering a refund. Today I looked and the same seller has the same item listed! Did they somehow find it? Did they ever actually have it? Is this some sort of scam? I may be naive, but I thought 'buy it now' meant exactly that, I pay immediately and you ship right away. here's the latest listing by the same seller of the same disc: http://cgi.ebay.com/JIM-CAMPILONGO-HEAVEN-...p3286.m20.l1116

They've had Halloween candy at the supermarket I go to since AUGUST!!! I avoid candy corn like the plague, because I'll sit down and eat half a pound if it's in the house.
