  1. Carrolls - holy schitt, old man. Was the menu in sanskrit? Though data from this era is scarce, it is also believed that these people periodically visited an establishment called "The Big N".
  2. Hey. I resemble that. I grew up there and we lived around the corner from the Ognibenes. He had a sister that was hot sh_t when we we got to the age of waking up sticky. Since I have been removed from WNY for some time, I have no idea what became of any of the Ogs and I am unable to relate why Mike is in your scope. But if he has found some way to make a small business thrive in upstate NY, he deserves more credit than the crap we gave him growing up.
  3. According to what I have found, you are right, in a manner of speaking. Dave Marsh interview I gather that Frank Capra did not know the history of the song when he put it in "It's a Wonderful Life".
  4. Ditto on what he said. I was there, too, and it was an amazing performance. For the most part, old Americana tunes, but that boy can make them rock. He has done an amazing job re-arranging a few of his older tunes to this band. His band was as tight as any I have ever seen. I swore I would never go the Nissan Pavilion after it took me over two hours to get out of the parking lot the last time I went. But, a friend lives in a apartment about a mile away and we were able to walk there. Beautiful weather last night just added to the show. He is not doing many dates on this tour. Probably due to the logistics and $ hauling around a 20 person band. But this is a remarkable show and I am not a Bruce regular. Catch it if you can.
  5. Yeah, that was like...jeez....eight years ago. (ha..ha) BTW - did you get Waters tix? So far, I have them for the Tweeter Center in Camden (Road Trip!!). I may go to the Nissan Pavilion although I swore I would never go to another show there again. If I can park at someone's apartment that lives nearby, I may change my mind.
  6. The NFL Network will pick 4 games from the previous week and re-air them on Tue & Wed evening. They will remove halftime and all unnecessary video but also add additional camera angles and commentary. NFL Network Re-Airs "... NFL Game Re-Airs will play in a 90-minute fast-paced format without halftime and other elements not critical to the outcome. NFL Game Re-Airs will tell the story of the game with additional features. In order to give the games context, NFL Network will add sideline and on-field sound captured during the game and postgame press conference sound bites. Other enhancements will include exclusive shots and camera angles from NFL Films, allowing fans an inside look at game action they did not see on Sunday. This will give fans a deeper understanding of the game, the players and the coaches. For example, if NFL Game Re-Airs was featuring the Colts-Steelers AFC Divisional Playoff where Jerome Bettis fumbled late in the game, viewers would see related comments from Bettis, Bill Cowher and others immediately after the play, as well as slow-motion footage showing the play as it unfolded. NFL Network has the ability to select any NFL game for use on NFL Game Re-Airs, complete with original television announcers and cameras. " I give 1 for the over/under on the Bills appearing in 2006 on this.

  8. Give that man a prize! In season 4, "Eclipse" was played in an episode.
  9. Definitely - I liked how they cut the song so that the vocals would play during the credits. FWIW: non-Floydians may not know but the lyrics are "One of these days I'm going to chop you into little pieces." Apropos for the show. Those were the only lyrics that drummer Nick Mason ever sang in a Floyd song.
  10. Can't top yours but one of my sons (he was 5 at the time) barfed on a plane when we were both in first class. As you can expect, the other first class passengers expect that when you get in first class you are away from that kind of stuff....but, surprise. No projectiles but a nasty aroma. I noticed a gag reflex from the lady across from us when I took him to the bathroom to get him cleaned up.
  11. "When I was a child, if a kid stunk at baseball he was relegated to manager or deep, deep left field. " Kinda weird. When I played, the crappy players were put in right field, not left field.
  12. Actually, there are three locations: (Hugenot Rd, Shoppes at Belgrade), 17th St near The Farmers Market, and on Parham Rd close to interchange with I-95. To get back to your original ?, I M Hipp to that. You mean lunch? The latter two locations are best for me. Obviously, this week is out. Setup a date and those of us interested can confirm and bring our anti-hypertensive, anti-ulcer, and anti-cholesterol medications.
  13. Maybe it's just me..... The biggest investment in your life and you don't have a security system with Fire/Smoke detectors that automatically calls the FD? Even if theft, etc. are not an issue where one lives, the fire detection/auto notification is worth the price. And there's a discount on homeowner's insurance. What happened to them is awful but buyer beware. We are all trying to save $ but the information regarding all types of services is readily available and people choose not to research, ask the proper questions, or compare. Unless Vonage promised service via 911, I do not believe they should be held responsible. I see a lot of people blaming others (people, companies, etc.) for their misfortunes when they made ill-advised or misinformed decisions where it was their responsibility to investigate the impact of their choice.
  14. Great - and a new South Park
  15. Not big on this type of thing but here goes: Norton That is a Honeymooners reference as he was living in a sewer when we adopted him. Great attitude, very vocal and affectionate. My wife has turned him into an indoor cat but he was amazing when he first came to visit us. He would bring home small rabbits, moles, and birds he had caught and eat nearly the whole thing. One time, I snuck outside when he brought home a small rabbit just to watch him devour it. I had enough when he got through eating the ears and started on the head and headed back in the house. I ate very little that night but it was a cool thing to see.
  16. Sr. Scientist in R&D for a Pharmaceutical Company. I have submitted an abstract for a talk at the Eastern Analytical Symposium this fall. See you there.
  17. I have the original poster for the first Spiderman movie before they were re-done. That baby is in mint condition and framed. In the original poster, the Twin Towers were reflected in Spiderman's eye. The first ones were released in the summer of 2001 even though the movie would not be out until 2002. Distribution of these posters stopped after 9/11 and were replaced with ones in which the towers were removed.
  18. Wow
  19. My wife and I have seen them a couple of times. Good musicians, lots of energy If I were to offer similar bands, I would say....hmmm...String Cheese Incident, Phish...throw some Newgrass genre in the pot and out pops a good band. Based on some of the other music I have seen you mention, you'll enjoy.
  20. I don't know but it seems this article as well as a bunch of others somewhat contradict your claims and that of your sources. Correctly balancing protein & carbs I eat a high-carb, low sugar, low protein diet and work out constantly. The important aspect is that I only eat complex carbs (low glycemic index). Low glycemic food is especially helpful in assisting those who want to lose weight. Low glycemic index foods will increase the sugar levels in the body to sustain energy levels for longer periods of time. I am not trying to lose weight as I am about as lean as I can be. But it provides a good deal of energy to me even when I am unable to eat for a while. Though everyone is somewhat different in their metabolism and you are correct about the high sugar aspect of the typical American diet, this type of eating regime helps maintain weight loss. Besides the high-calorie meals that we enjoy, the other killers (no pun) are snacks and desserts. Going out to eat is always a challenge but every place has some kind of salad or fish.
  21. Please post a link to medical facts regarding this. The WHO, DHSS, NACNE, and others recommend eating 11-20% of total daily calories. Toward the higher end if one is an athlete. To me, that does not qualify as "rich in protein". The typical American diet is higher than this amount (as well as fats) but that's why a majority of the population is overweight.
  22. I could see where one of the storylines could be headed: The Others trying to use Walt to develop his special powers to conjur them off the island. Maybe Walt recognizes these developing powers and instead gets him back with Micheal and the rest of the flight and then conjurs them all off the island and blows off the Others. Many ways this could go.
  23. I live out-of-the-area (500 miles away) so my real cost is actually quite a bit more than that. This is a legitimate question - several years of futility and the biggest season ticket holder base this past season since the early 90s. Are people going to return based on what has transpired in the last couple of weeks?
  24. Perhaps I should wait until after the HC is chosen but for me this offseason, more than any other, has me wavering on this decision. I'll go first and commit to unsure but HC decision will do it for me. Another first-time HC and I'm heading for the bus.
  25. Whatever is on-sale at the supermarket....but no flavors.
