So that's where that expression came from! As for you-know-who, it just seemed to be a routine part of his description. With some other nationalities that might be considered ... I dunno ... xenophobic or pejorative or something. You wouldn't say German cyberpig or Mexican cyberpig, or American cyberpig for that matter. ... Cyberpig should suffice.

Saints as the sentimental favorite. The Saints are going to be the most dynamic offense that the Colts will have faced possible the entire year -- certainly in the playoffs. But Peyton Manning can throw the Colts back into any game even if they get down by a couple of TDs. And the Saints defense will be vulnerable there. As long as they can trade punches and come up with some special teams plays, hopefully they'll be right there at the end.

Download or discs? Download. Just grabbed them, thanks!

What matter is the nationality of this cyberpig? Would you say Danish cyberpig if he/she were Danish? AAJ was hacked a couple of months ago as well (nationality of perps unknown).

Thanks for bringing these up. Listening to some samples of Exhale now. Fantastic stuff!

Wow. Great photo. The hands. the face.

My family spent 18 months living in Florence when I was 15-16. Any traveling we did as a family we stayed pretty close to Italy. A summer trip to Greece. Down to Sicily. Interesting to think back on that time (1972-73), even though I was pretty young, my folks let me travel by train with my friends to Venice, Rome, several day-night trips to Bologna, where they regularly held concerts in the sports arena there. Went back to travel Europe a few times in my early 20s. Amsterdam, Paris, Italy, Greece, Germany. Sadly, haven't been back since. ... Rome would have to be my favorite large European city. The history of the place alone can be pretty overwhelming, especially for a young person. Have been to the Canadian Rockies and out to Vancouver Island. Took a trip to Tokyo a few years ago that was amazing. Drove out into the countryside to a traditional Japanese lakeside hot springs retreat on the shores of one of the five lakes that surround Mount Fuji. With a view much like this: Don't think I've ever been more relaxed and at peace than I was after spending a half hour or so in the hot springs (inside the resort facility) then returning to my traditional Japanese quarters to put on a komono, lie on the floor with the iPod on looking out over the lake at Mt. Fuji. Pretty incredible. Tokyo itself is a trip. Unbelievably large city. Would love to make a trip back to Italy when the time is right. It's been almost 30 years!

What the heck. I'm in! I've been basically a disaster at identifying much when I've participated in the past, but always, always enjoyed the music.

Wes it is. It's not the half time show, rather the Half Note show. Playing now. I feel better already.

Too late. Already had a pastrami sandwich.

Good to see you back Dan. What would be a good half-time show (given the audience, which is pretty much everyone)? They could put some thought into it and draw on the two cities involved. New Orleans is a no-brainer. Indy? ... Screw Indy, just get some New Orleans marching bands.

You can "deactivate" it (Settings > Account settings, at the bottom of the page). I think they "deactivate" rather than "close" so that comments you have posted on other people's profiles remain there. Just speculation, though. Thanks Tom. I'll give it a whirl.

Is there a way to close a Facebook account?

On my new, austere music budget for 2010, these are February's purchases: Booker Ervin -- "Freedom Book" Art Tatum -- "The Art of Tatum" Jemeel Moondoc & William Parker -- "New World Pygmies"

Nice article. Thanks.

Sorry to hear that you fellas lost a friend. He sounds like he was a wonderful man. RIP.

Bump just cause I'm sniffing around for some more Red Allen titles. Notice a couple of copies of the disc mentioned above with Coleman Hawkins is available at amazon for a reasonable price now.

Odd. More than a year later and it's still up there.

I like that. Me too.

:blush2:

Too bad about Sam the Record Man.

Dilfer was saying the other day that the physical beating Favre took had everything to do with his mental mistake at the end. That was, he said, the whole point of hitting him constantly -- to wear him down both physically and mentally, to the point where he would make a mistake. Given his "gun-slinging" MO, it was a calculated tactic intended to have just the exact effect that it did. But I put the blame for that loss as much on the coaching staff as that single play by Favre at the end. Their screw-up coming out of the timeout with too many men in the huddle took them out of field goal range, and put their obviously battered QB in a bad position. All that said, I don't disagree that it was a horrible decision -- just saying that in the opinion of Dilfer, who has played the position, the beating had everything to do with that horrible decision.

No, other than when I go to cduniverse the browser crashes every time. That's the only site it happens with. Weird.

Nice. Thanks for the link.

Good headline
