+1 I can't get worked up over what happens 2 days into camp. In the end, it is usually just water over a quickly-forgotten dam.

Nice work, Ryan. Looking forward to where you'll take these two over the course of the season.

5 Well, I guess 6 Okay 7 for sure No new responses? Maybe 8 then...

Always loved the idea of Buffalo (and WNY by extension) as being full of real people without pretentious attitudes.

Nice, very nice.

If there is a woman in the world that you lost or gave away and you find your mind at times running back to her this song will haunt the hell out of you. (Oh, and a great guitar solo for the ages to boot.)

If he does make the team, I hereby nominate "Rain Man" as his official nickname. Works with both his name and the fact that his booming kicks will bring down the rain.

I don't think DiCaprio can do much more than act.

Naaaaaaaayyyyyyy!

Great column on Tesla's inventions: http://niagarahub.com/2013/07/08/the-10-inventions-of-nikola-tesla-that-changed-the-world/ His statue on Goat Island...

It could happen as soon as tomorrow. http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/blog/eye-on-hockey/22721848/will-buffalos-new-alternate-jersey-be-gold

Watched the Levon Helm tribute this weekend and Grace stole the show with the Dylan tune "I Shall Be Released." www.youtube....h?v=iQzIOmNX3wQ

I forgot about ol' Dimebag. Good call.

In Brazil. Really surprised something like this hasn't happened sooner. Not just rappers either, but any artist is vulnerable. Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uag7qeeTBWU Story: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/news/mc-daleste-shot-onstage-video-180453529.html

Cool story. Bills should take a good look at the kid.

Okay, here's my pet urinal peeve: There's a row of 6 urinals - the type with no dividers between. I'm at the one 2nd in from the left - all others are unoccupied. Guy walks in and takes the one right next to me. wtf????

Rex Ryan just read this thread and made himself sticky.

It's recognition far overdue. If they had counted all of Deacon's sacks Bruce might still be playing trying to break the record.

No, but a baker's dozen of his kids still live in various homes around the region.

It's not the credo, but it was posted to honor the girl. I stand behind everything Niagara Rises has done to help, in some small way, the city and people of Niagara Falls. We are all volunteers giving time, money and energy to make the city better for the next generation of kids. You can Google me and the organization to see what we've done, I'm not pandering for compliments here. As to the 8 million visitor statement, 3 Sisters islands get about 1/10th of that. I'm happy for all comments pro or con becuse I believe that discussion is healthy for all issues.

That quote was written by a 12 year-old developmentally challenged girl who organized a drive to get winter clothes for the homeless for Niagara Rises. But, yeah, other than that it's priceless. Thanks, Plez. Maybe it's a Falls thing, but most people from NF hate what has been done.

Anywhere else in Niagara Falls this development would be welcome, but Goat Island and 3 Sisters are clearly protected by the Olmsted Act to keep them natural. Improvements could have been made without sacraficing that principle. It is important to keep at least one slice of the park as nature intended it to be (especially with the honkey-tonk vibe that permeates places like Clifton Hill).

My latest - concerning NY State's destruction of everything that made Three Sisters Islands natural and beautiful. http://niagarahub.com/2013/06/17/three-sisters-islands-rehabilitation-a-travesty-to-olmsteds-memory-by-frank-thomas-croisdale/

Went to see "Before Midnight" last night - the 3rd movie of the Richard Linklater trilogy. Great movie, amazing dialogue. If you're 40ish, it speaks to the issues that face you. Oh and Julie Delpy has a 10 minute topless scene.
