  1. I am looking for someone who help with a project, jazz related? PM me if you can convert video to DVD.
  2. Well at least 5 answered 6- 7 times a week. For me that is way too many times to eat there.
  3. Like Bugger King. Their buggers are grilled. The fries are probably just as bad. Stay away from them all. I was a strict vegetarian for 17 years. I put no animal products in me. Then the doctor told me, that's is most likely why I went bald at 30.
  4. Wow, someone 6 to 7 times. I wonder who that was? I guess he or she doesn't want us to know.
  5. I never eat at McDonald's. The only time I get some fries from them is when I am flying out of JFK. How many times a week do you go to McDonalds? McDonald's Says Fries Have More Trans Fats By DAVE CARPENTER, AP Business Writer 2 hours, 41 minutes ago CHICAGO - McDonald's french fries just got fatter — by nutritional measurement. The world's largest restaurant chain said Wednesday its fries contain a third more trans fats than it previously knew, citing results of a new testing method it began using in December. ADVERTISEMENT That means the level of potentially artery-clogging trans fat in a portion of large fries is eight grams, up from six, with total fat increasing to 30 grams from 25. Often used by restaurants and in packaged foods, trans fats are thought to cause cholesterol problems and increase the risk of heart disease. The dietary guidelines for Americans that were issued by a government panel last year said people should consume as little trans fat as possible. The disclosure comes as McDonald's Corp. starts rolling out packaging for its menu items that contain facts about their nutritional content — a move made voluntarily but with the fast-food industry under pressure from consumer groups and the government to provide more information. McDonald's said it updated the nutrition info on its Web site last month as soon as it discovered the new level of trans fat. It explained the increase by saying an improvement in the testing process has made results more accurate. "As part of our ongoing voluntary efforts to provide our customers with the best science-based information, we continually enhance our testing," said Cathy Kapica, global nutrition director for Oak Brook, Ill.-based McDonald's. Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, called the change "quite a dramatic increase." He renewed the nonprofit health advocacy group's call for McDonald's and other fast-food chains to make healthier food — and for the Food and Drug Administration to ban the use of partially hydrogenated oil, the source of trans fat. Trans fat is made when manufacturers add hydrogen to vegetable oil — a process called hydrogenation. "Nutritionally it's a disastrous product," Jacobson said of the fries. "McDonald's could fry in canola oil or other liquid oil" as it does in Australia, Denmark and Israel, he said. Responding to the criticism, Kapica said the company is "very proud of our menu." "It is important to note that McDonald's menu has a wide range of choice and variety, with an array of portion sizes, including three options with french fries — small, medium and large," she said. McDonald's has been reluctant to risk changing the taste of its iconic french fries. It pledged in September 2002 to switch to a new oil that would halve the level of harmful trans fatty acid in its fries. But it has delayed those plans, citing product quality and customer satisfaction as priorities while continuing testing. McDonald's spokeswoman Anna Rozenich said tray liners and nutrition brochures containing trans fat and other info will be updated soon and the company Web site will reflect up-to-date information. The FDA began mandating that packaged foods companies report trans fat levels last month, but the fast-food industry is not under similar requirements. McDonald's shares rose 17 cents to close at $36.36 Wednesday on the

    Wow, this sucks. 60. He had many years still.
  7. Can this program work with a dialup connection or does it have to be DSL, Cable or other broadband connections?
  8. Have a great one.
  9. I have been on a Warne Marsh kick, so I will have to check this out. Thanks.
  10. Yeah, but would you be turning in your grave?
  11. The only acts I saw at the Village gate were The Phil Woods Quartet and Jon Hendricks. They were both great. In the mid 1990's the Gate moved to 52 street right off of Broadway. I don't think it lasted too long. It was right outside the widow where I was working.
  12. Man I only wish I was old enough back when this was acts for the night.
  13. Mikeweil, thanks for finding that article.
  14. By the mid 1990's he seemed to drop of the face of the planet. Did he just stop playing? Anyone know.
  15. Someone sent this to me. It is supposedly this is a real photo.

  17. Nice story.
  18. This guy can play the trumpet, and play it rell well. Just wonder why he never really made a name for himself.
  19. Maybe Clint Eastwood will direct it. Hey he was on this board a while back saying he was working on a jazz moive. This sounds like it is going to suck.
  20. Nice photo. I can't wait to see Tolliver with Andrew Hill at Birdland.
  21. Thanks. His name slipped my mine. He was the one that died in the helicopter crash.
  22. Back in the late 60's and 70's, who was the music promoter that would have Miles Davis open up for acts like Hendrix? I believe he woned the 2 Filmores. I was speaking to someone who told me he got turned on to jazz when he went to see the Allman Brothers and Miles opened for them. This was such a great idea.
  23. There just something about those lips that make men crazy, well at least for me. Other than that, I don't find her that interesting.
  24. Just read a thread in one of the other sections and it made me wonder. What if I had to sell all my records/CD's? I guess being a minimalist is the way to live. There would be nothing to obsess or consume you. I don’t know if I could ever do that. I probably start collecting again shortly there after. Could you live without your jazz?
