Mr Info

The prices that are being discussed are for the internet streaming version rather/in addition to the satellite version.

Thanks. Are you saying that the lot typically has spaces available on Sat?

I am looking for some input on parking a camper at the RV lot for the Jets game next fall. Although I used to stumble through it when it was next to the stadium, I am unsure how obtaining a spot has changed. I notice in the RWS stadium guide that spots are open until filled - no reservations. Does it usually sell out? A friend of mine is considering taking his camper up on Sat. for the game but doesn't want to go and get stiffed on a spot. Thanks

Belated HB to a guy!

OK, going off thread but a similar thing happened to my wife and she decided to try the violin about 14 months ago. She prectices nearly every night and has improved greatly (thankfully). The violin (fiddle for my wife) is a difficult instrument. How's your wife doing with it?

Write memos much? Actually, I do. Scientific papers as well. But I had just returned home after a long flight when I posted and just wanted to post a quick reply on the board before I crashed. I'll get my son to proofread for me the next time I am that tired.

I work for Pfizer, too. Fortunately, I am not concerned with losing my job at this time. I hope NG is safe as well. I disagree with your opinion on exorbitant pricing of prescription drugs. Especially after observing and participating in the extraordinary cost and effort involved in bringing a single drug to market. Though I acknowledge that pricing may be difficult to understand at first glance. However, the days of small molecule drugs for prescription pharmaceuticals are marked. Biotechnology will be the primary target for R&D development. These are engineered to produce less side effects and should realize longer exclusivity since it may be cost prohibitive to produce a generic version. OTOH, the target market may be smaller for engineered drugs. Pfizer has a strong vaccine portfolio and is diversified in Animal Health, Infant Nutrition, and Consumer Health. These and other ventures should help it weather periods of pipeline paucity (hey...I am going to remember to use that alliteration some other time). It may be beneficial if the govt starts their own drug development pipeline. Perhaps they will understand firsthand some of the frustrations pharma companies have in dealing with the FDA.

That brought back memories of the late 70s (78/79?) seeing a Dead NY Eve's show at the SF Opera House. I dressed up as Santa Claus and had a bag full of roses I picked up at the end of the day for next-to-nothing from various flower vendors in the city. I handed them out to all the girls/women at the show and had a great time. Back to the topic at hand - We do something different every New Year's Eve as long as little or no driving is involved. Everything from parties to concerts to midnight bowling to skiing to benefits to ? This year a friend invited us to his restaurant for dinner in exchange for a bunch of my bootleg Pink Floyd DVDs and CDs. I would have given them to him anyway but it's just a reciprocation for other favors. Then we'll head over to the New Year's Eve Celebration in Carytown (Richmond, VA) where all the shops, restaurants, bars, etc. will be open until midnight or later. We've never done it so we'll give it a try. I hope everyone has an outstanding 2011!

This year - I had an old Flutie jersey and my wife sneaked it out of my drawer and had it sent to Doug and he autographed the front of it over the #7 with a brief message to me. She knew somebody that has worked with Doug before and got it done through him. I know the person too but never considered asking him to have Doug sign it. Very cool and Doug was a good sport about it.

TMQ "Monday Night Football Analysis: The winning play for New Orleans on Monday night -- a bang slant to a tight end split wide right near the goal line -- was the same action the Saints employed to take the lead in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl. The nifty variation was that the Saints lined up trips left then sent a man in motion left to make it quirk left, drawing attention to the overloaded side. (Trips comes from triple; TMQ maintains that four receivers on the same side should be called the quirk, for quad.) Buffalo tried the same play near the goal line on its opening drive Sunday against New England; Sean Payton might even have gotten the play from that game. But the Bills being the Bills, the pass to the lone guy clanged incomplete; the Saints being the Saints, the pass to the lone guy was the winning touchdown."

They also left off the J Geils Band. I'm ok with Diamond, James, et al, from an historical perspective - (Robert Johnson, Louis Armstrong, and Elmore James are in for Early Influence) and there are some acts in there that only border on R&R. But R&R isn't always black and white. Certainly some of the jam bands (moe, Phish, Cornmeal, etc.) play some R&R - should any of them be excluded from the R&R HoF? Louis Armstrong is in - should Chick Corea or Stanley Clarke be excluded? Should there be a separate HoF for rap? Besides J Geils, some others, IMO, that deserve inclusion are Deep Purple, Donovan, Stevie Ray Vaughan, B-52s, Rush, Todd Rundgren, Moody Blues and Joe Cocker. At least based upon the merits of some existing members.

As much as I would like to see the Bills due to the increased excitement level, I am too busy with work to travel for the Browns and Pats games. Any suggestions on who to donate these to and how to go about doing it? Thanks

Good insight as always. And a big TBD thank you (and PS 86) for putting together the party at Sliders . We had a great time!!!

Ok, they were lacking a song. It's good that every stadium is not the same but kudos to the Ravens fans in our section. No jerks at all and we had a good time speaking with them. Lots of noise and everyone standing at appropriate times in our section at the game. Some differences: Marching band before game and in end zone Cheerleader acrobatics The Ravens were way more animated (especially Reed and Lewis) before the game when they were introduced and interacted with the fans. Amazing how quickly we got back on 95 after the game. Outstanding highway access to/from the game.

That CD was released over two years ago but it's good to see he's getting some recognition. He's concerts are a blast. Here's nutha band: Tea Leaf Green

Michael Franti and Spearhead

Unless you include his wife and daughters.

IMO, the artist who originally posted this did not use a scientific method. Her experimental conclusions that McD food would result in this outcome without comparison to a control is just bad science. Interesting that she did not order any condiments which would have supplied moisture that would have contributed to mold, etc. forming. If you cooked a burger well-done on your gas grill, you would have the same results. Especially if you placed it in an airtight container after it dried out as she did. I am no supporter of the golden arches or any other fast food as I don't eat that stuff but there is plenty of other data to challenge the nutritional value of this type of food rather than this method. It appears to be achieving the result she anticipated and visuals are convincing but it's not due to chemicals or additives.

That's a great solution to obtain more heat from an existing fireplace. Related FYI: If you are building a house or adding a fireplace, consider a Rumford fireplace. This design will result in less heat leaving the room than the more standard-type fireplaces. When we built our house, the old-time mason we hired recommended this design and was pleased that we chose it. A bit more difficult for him but he knew we'd like it better for heat and he was so right. We have one on the first floor and one on the second and it can raise the temp of that room and those adjoining it (doors open of course) considerably. Rumford's will burn efficiently with well-seasoned wood and the subsequent maintenance is fairly easy as all that is left to clean up is ashes.

Six of us coming from Richmond. It looks great Rich, thans for putting it together - looking forward to it.

My wife and I are flying up for this one but we are coming in Friday afternoon to also catch the Waters concert at HSBC. Though I am disappointed with the team performance (I was at last week's game against the Jets with some friends), I am not going to boycott as I bought my plane tix this summer for games I planned to attend. Tough year to be a fan but the tailgate and people make up for the junk on the field. I always see something different/unusual/odd at every game I attend. It's always fun and entertaining even if the team is awful.

I like both of them and the Rays are #21 in 2010 baseball salary but the Twins are #11 and only $300k from inclusion in the top 10: 2010 Baseball salary rank. The Yanks and Red Sox are running away from everybody but the Twins may not qualify as 'little' any longer. The Yankees average $6M per player more than the Rays. Wow!!

Outstanding!!!
